Even a few seconds later may be too late.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dooley says businesses should leverage trust not only to win loyalty from customers but to snap them up in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the author argues that building credibility by using trustworthy faces in marketing campaigns is actually easier than building trust in-person, because what is shown in your ads or on your website can be controlled more easily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy choosing a face image that has strong trust characteristics we will increase the trust in our company or brand,\u201d Dooley says.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimilarly, whether you are including a photo of your CEO or a customer service rep, try to find (or create) an image that embodies facial trust characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Article originally published by <a href=\"businesses%20need%20to%20understand%20how%20trust%20is%20formed%20in%20order%20to%20avoid%20a%20situation%20where%20a%20customer%20or%20potential%20client%20thinks%20they%20lack%20credibility.\">SmartCompany<\/a>.
